Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles, citing April 26 as the date of separation. Rumors had been circulating about the status of her marriage to Affleck since May, with sources revealing that the pair had been living separate lives.

I see what she’s done in my life, with my health [and with] Cynthia to name a few. She comes at it from a very proactive [place] and helps you get in tremendous shape so you don’t have to hopefully be sick and prevent any type of health issues,” Rodriguez gushed.
